(Terms 1 - 4, YEARS 3 - 12)
INFORMATION & REGISTRATION
Registrations to Audition -­‐ Open 14 October & Close 30 October 2014
Competitive Aerobics aims to provide Primary and Secondary students with an avenue to improve their
fitness, confidence, health and self-esteem through participation in healthy and fun competitions. Teams of
3 – 12 are required to perform an energetic, original, and exciting routine containing aerobic skills of
flexibility, strength, power and endurance. Individual performers will also be considered at auditions. This
sport is suited to all students who have an interest in improving their overall fitness. A background in dance
and/or gymnastics would be an advantage but is not essential.
CLASS TIMES AND VENUE:
In 2015 training will be held on Tuesday afternoons for students in Years 7 – 12 and on Friday afternoons for
students in Years 3 – 6 as detailed below. Additional training sessions may also be organised as the

Schoolaerobics and FISAF:
State Preliminaries and Finals
Times and dates were unavailable at time of printing this contract. However, the Schoolaerobics
competition is generally held on two Sundays during late May or early June, and the FISAF competition
is generally held on a weekend during July.
The competition usually starts at approximately 8:00am and is finished by 5:00pm (students must arrive
in time to warm up and prepare for their performance and can leave the venue after the winners of their
section are announced).
National Finals
The National Finals for these events only relates to those teams who qualify from the NSW State
Finals. In 2014 the Nationals’ dates and exact venue are yet to be determined. It may be possible
that the Finals will be held interstate.
CGSSSA Dance Championships:
Available to students in Years 7 – 12 by invitation only. This event is held in Term 3 on a school day at a
local host school
NB: Progression from State to National to World Events
Each competition has its own rules regarding the number of teams that they allow to progress from State to
National events and National to World events. It is also not unusual for Competition organisers to change
their published rules during the competition, particularly if scores are close.
There is no obligation to compete at the National Finals or World events. If a Santa Sabina team is fortunate
enough to qualify for one of these events, consultation with the College Executive and Aerobics coaches will
be held to determine our teams’ attendance. If we believe that it is appropriate, beneficial and feasible for
our teams to compete, consultation will be held with parents and competitors.
AUDITIONS:
Details of the auditions are as follows:
DATE

VENUE
Del Monte Hall
TIME
3:30pm – 5:30pm
The coaches will warm the girls up and prepare them for the audition by teaching them a routine that they
will need to perform. Auditions are closed to Parents and spectators.
We can only accommodate a limited number of competitors, so it is essential for all students
interested to be part of the 2015 Competitive Aerobics squad to attend the audition. In extreme cases
where a player is unable to attend parents should note this on the contract or email Mr Pham at
[email protected] as early as possible. Attendance at auditions or appropriate notification of the
inability to attend is essential to be guaranteed a place in the most appropriate team. Non-attendance at
auditions does not void your contract.
TRAINING:
Training is compulsory for all Competitive Aerobics Squad members until the end of the Competitive
Aerobics Season (including all Competitions and Events).
On the rare occasions that a student is unable to attend training their parent/guardian should email Mr
Pham at [email protected] as early as possible.
Please Note: Failure to attend training without a timely written explanation is unacceptable and can
jeopardise players continued involvement in sport at the College.
It is expected that students are punctual, dressed in school sports attire and have appropriate safety
equipment for all training sessions. All training sessions are closed to Parents and spectators.
Students in Years 3 – 6: For training all Del Monte children are to get changed in the toilets located next to
OOSH. They are then to meet their coach in the undercroft area. The coach will escort the DM children
from the undercroft to their training venue.
Students in Year 6 need to get changed at MDP and make their own way to the training venue.
Students in Years 3 – 6 should be collected from training by the scheduled finishing time. In the event that a
parent /guardian is unavoidably detained, thus unable to collect their child within 10 minutes of the end of the
scheduled training time, their child will be escorted to OOSH Centre on the Del Monte Campus from where
they can be collected. If your child is taken to OOSH after training, fees will be charged at the standard rate
per visit.
Students in Years 7 – 12: Senior squad members are to get changed and make their own way to the
training venue.
COMMUNICATION: Our main form of communication with the students and their parents is email.
